Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Eversince the arrival of my newborn, not able to bake as frequent as before! busy busy busy.... this chocolate chip cupcakes was baked during the last day of my confinement period which I gave some to the confinement lady to bring back home :)

Ingredient

230gm unsalted butter

180gm sugar

4 eggs

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 tsp chocolate emulco

220gm self raising flour, sifted

10gm cocoa powder, sifted

100gm chocolate chips

Method

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed for 1 min, turn on high speed and beat for 3mins till batter is smooth & fluffy.

U can get chocolate emulco from cold storage or baking specialty store like Phoon Huat. Muffin has more liquid content (milk & oil) than cupcake. Muffin has slightly denser texture than cupcakes which are fluffier & more buttery taste.

Cindy..yes u can skip the choc chip if u want. Use a better quality cocoa powder will gives a better choco flavour like Dutch cocoa or valhorna. You can increase the cocoa powder to 20gm and reduce the SR flour to 210gm.

I tried this recipe last night,without doing any amendment on the ingredients except omitting the choc chip(becoz i dont have it at home). It turns out great!I ate one this morning and it's still moist.I'm planning to use this recipe for my daughter's coming b'day.Thank you soooo muchhh for this easy all in one recipe, as i'm not good at "beat the butter and sugar until fluffy" method.

But i got i problem, that's the cupcake liner tends to pull away from the cake...do u have any idea on this?I dont want to use those sturdy paper cup becoz i want to make it easier for the kids to peel it off.
